Boost Converter Evaluation Board. Other useful documents are listed below. The following Microchip documents are available and recommended as supplemental reference resources. • MCP1642B/D Data Sheet – “1.8A Input Current Switch, 1 MHz Low-Voltage Start-Up Synchronous Boost Regulator” (DS20005253) THE MICROCHIP WEB SITE Microchip provides online support via our web site at www.microchip.com.
• Output Disconnect mode (MCP1642B) • Input-to-Output Bypass mode (MCP1642D) For the fixed output voltage option of the MCP1642B/D devices, the feedback pin (V is not connected. The output voltage is set by an internal feedback divider. The available fixed output values are 1.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 5V.
MCP1642B/D High-Current Synchronous Boost Converter Evaluation Board was developed to help engineers reduce the product design cycle time. The output voltage for the applications using MCP1642B/D-ADJ can be set using the external resistor divider. The converter can be disabled by tying the Enable pin (EN) to ground (GND).
NiCd, NiMH, one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries. The MCP1642B/D is capable of regulating the output voltage over a wide 1.8V to 5.5V range and typically can deliver over 400 mA of load current at 3.3V output when supplied from a single 1.5V cell.
Ultimate Lithium batteries are an alter- native power solution that provides superior performance high drains and allows designers to utilize the full power range of the MCP1642B/D without sacrificing size or runtime. Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries utilize a primary cell chemistry that contains higher energy than alkaline batteries and has much better high-drain performance.
Soldered test points are available to connect a load. The switch peak current limit will provide a safe maximum current value. The maximum output current for the converters will vary with input and output voltages; refer to Figure 2-1 or the MCP1642B/D data sheet for more information on the maximum output current.
